Whether investors are looking for passive exposures, improved sustainable outcomes, or outperformance in a risk-controlled manner, abrdn offers solutions across both listed equities and fixed income. So whatever your investment goals, we aim to have a solution to match them.
What we offer
Indexation
We offer traditional equity and fixed- income indexation strategies across a wide range of global, regional and local markets.
Enhanced indexation
We focus on multiple ‘risk premia,’ such as value, quality and momentum. We target above-benchmark returns in a risk-controlled manner.
Customised solutions
We track customised equity and fixed income indices. These can aim to deliver improved sustainable outcomes, while retaining a similar risk and return profile as their parent indices.
Why are enhanced index strategies increasingly popular?
An enhanced index strategy combines the advantages of both active and passive equity investing. Watch Nick Millington’s video to discover more.

The value of investments, and the income from them, can go down as well as up and an investor may get back less than the amount invested. Past performance is not a guide to future results.
